I'd like to know- bolt pattern, orginal rim width (mine are 16" diameter), orginal tire size and metric equivalent (I can figure that if needed).
Oh, and where is a good place to get some new Baby Moon hub caps. Mine are all rusted out.
Thanks,
62 1/2 Ton Stepside, 3 on the tree and 235 I6
Grandpa gave it to me, it is straight and original with about 90K original miles..

Available tire sizes were 6.00-16 and 6.50-16.
